Tabtouch - Perth Cup (G2)
The Justin Warwick-trained Material Man, second in the Kingston Town Classic (Gr 1, 1800m) and the Van Heemst Stakes (Gr 2, 2100m) reversed the result on this occasion over his arch rival (Pounamu), albeit by the barest of margins. He was given a good trip by Lucy Warwick and after leading early on, eased to travel in third place behind the new leader (Trap For Fools) at the 1600m. He moved up nearing the home turn, dashed clear at the 150m and fought gamely to score in a photo. Pounamu settled back in 13th place, tracked up behind runners from the 600m, got a late split at the 200m and finished gamely to just miss for a very good and unlucky second. Royal Star had a nice run in sixth place, on the rails, got through to third on straightening and kept battling on nicely to take the minor placing in a photo from her late-closing stablemate Cosmic Dream who ran on well from back in tenth place to finish (2.5 lengths) fourth. The $151 outsider Dark Musket made ground for fifth while the leader Trap for Fools tired in the straight for (3.5 lengths) sixth.
